I am a huge fan of Eventbrite. This online tool is indeed a networker's hidden jewel! Besides being able to find events (both locally and out of town) that fit my interest, I can create events as well. The seamless process allows me to connect my registrations to my calendar, making me more organized and professional. It is also an excellent way to connect with others via other social media outlets and continue to grow your networks!

In one of my latest online article, I write about how an individual can get sucked into networking. Goals, direction and purpose are critical to networking success. Not being focused and building quality relationships can leave someone in a pool of confusion. Do not be misguided. Learn these tips to sharpen your networking agenda!

The SN Tip of the week is to update your profile. Whether it is on your social media, resume, company / organization website, make sure your info is current. Use this opportunity to find any loopholes or corrections which need to be made. You can also forecast and set goals for career and professional things you would like to achieve!

Hip Hip Hoooray! I reached my goal as a Diamond Expert Author for EzineArticle.com. I wanted to stay consistent by submitting articles on a monthly basis, adding value to my on and offline communities and building my networking brand. I have just been named: "Virtuoso Expert"!
